New iPhone 4

Three Screen Video Leader Continues to Raise Quality Standards for
Mobile TV by Enabling Delivery of Live and On Demand HD TV Services
South San Francisco, CA ? June 29, 2010 ? Envivio today announced that
the world?s most widely-deployed solution for delivering Mobile TV,
its 4Caster? C42 encoding/transcoding platform, now offers high
definition (HD) video support to the Apple iPhone 4, taking maximum
advantage of the device?s capabilities. The upgrade for 4Caster
creates an unprecedented mobile video experience by enabling services
for the first time that deliver high definition live and on demand TV
services that make full use of the high resolution iPhone 4 ?Retina
Display.?

The Envivio 4Caster solution provides simultaneous support for
delivering services to the complete range of devices and technologies
from Apple, including iPad, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod,
Safari 5 and QuickTime X. Envivio solutions power premier network
operator and over the top TV services for the iPhone and iPad around
the world, including premium Pay TV, sports and movie content for
operators in Europe, coverage of the Olympics and NHL hockey in
Canada, coverage of the World Cup in France and Germany and telecomm
Mobile TV services worldwide.

?As the screens on mobile devices achieve higher levels of fidelity,
it is incumbent upon services to provide consumers with video streams
that make the most of that capability,? said Julien Sign?s, president
and CEO of Envivio. ?Envivio solutions ensure that those high
expectations are met, meaning happy subscribers today, while providing
the flexibility to address even more compelling devices down the road.
The combination of the iPhone 4 and Envivio 4Caster delivers a true HD-
caliber experience in the palm of your hand.?

Support for the iPhone 4 is available as an upgrade for existing
4Caster C42 systems. The upgrade enables services to deliver video
that is optimized for the 3.5-inch, 960?640 resolution ?Retina
Display.? The high pixel density of the display makes images appear
exceptionally smooth and continuous. Envivio H.264 Extreme? Main
Profile Compression, regarded as the industry?s highest quality video
codec, ensures the best quality video stream is delivered at precisely
the resolution of the iPhone 4.

Multi-profile output maximizes service density by making it possible
to simultaneously service iPads and iPhones, as well as PCs,
smartphones and other devices. Ingesting up to eight IP, four analog
or four SDI channel sources, the 4Caster C42 simultaneously encodes
and protects content in multiple profiles. This multi-profile encoding
also powers Apple adaptive streaming to ensure the uninterrupted
delivery of video, regardless of fluctuations in network bandwidth.
